Sweet potatoes are a featured food in many Asian and Latin American cultures. Sweet potato is a versatile natural root family foods that may range from almost white through cream, yellow, orange, and pink to a very deep purple, although white and yellow-orange flesh are most common.Sweet potato contain unique root storage proteins that have been observed to have significant antioxidant capacities. like sweet potato that the intensity are firm, dry, and mealy not soft and moist but sometimes I can't help if bought the soft and moist type. I prefer purple fleshed rather than orange fleshed sweet potatoes but purple fleshed sweet potatoes is not easily can be find in any local market.Recently I bought 2 huge roots of sweet potatoes from a local market.The skin is almost purple in color,that mean the flesh is almost white color,right? Usually almost white flesh sweet potatoes taste sweeter,firm and mealy but the one I bought was opposite!! What a disappointment!! If the flesh is firm and mealy,I just steam and eat as it's!! Well,since it's soft and moist I rather make something out of it..Maybe kuih keria(fried sweet potato donut)? Great idea ,right? How about adding some pandan(screw pine leaves)paste flavor for this kuih keria? Something different and not boring from the traditional kuih keria,I guess.

Method:1:Steam or boil peeled sweet potato until soft.Remove to a large bowl and mashed it while still warm.2:Combine flour,salt and pandan paste with mashed sweet potatoes,mix well with hand .3:Heat fryer or deep aluminum pan with oil at medium heat.Sprinkle some flour on kitchen counter,before place the dough.If the dough is too wet add in 1-2 tbsp flour..Roll dough to 2 inch thick.(since I used self raising flour I roll dough about 1 inch thick).Use donut or cookies cutter to cut out the shape.4:Place donut in the hot oil and fry until lightly golden brown on both side.Remove to paper towel to absorb oil and set aside to cool down. ( Do not overlap donut when frying)5:Use a small pot at low heat to crystallize sugar coating (B) .Cook sugar for about 4-5 minutes until color change to milky.Coat fried donut with crystallize sugar while the sugar still warm..6:Serve sweet potatoes donut with tea or coffee as snack or dessert

I too just made this a last week but it didn't turn out as well. The sweet potatoes I bought from the supermarket are way to soft and I kept adding flour to it to the kuih keria came out hard and chewy! What a good idea in adding pandan flavor to it.

I love the soy sauce chicken 醬油雞 that sold in Chinatown.The meat of the chicken is soft ,moist ,delicious, effortless and can keep for a fe...
